(Aka: A. sp. QCSIIM-13) This is the most dwarf form of the recent releases of aspidistras from Dr. Jim Waddick's wild collections from the Qing Cheng San Mountains of Sichuan in 1985. A. 'China Star' has 8-10" long leaves that are each 2.25" wide. Each leaf is spattered with yellow "freckles." A. 'China Star' is the fastest-spreading selection from these new collections. This is either a form of A. typica or a new species that is quite similar. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
